A new Freddie Mercury documentary is set to air this weekend under the title of Freddie Mercury: Who Wants To Live Forever.
The documentary will show Mercury's life from Queen's performance at Live Aid in the summer of 1985, through to when he was diagnosed with AIDs in the spring of 1987.
Freddie Mercury: Who Wants To Live Forever, has been described as a "behind-the-scenes" look at the Queen Singer.
It is also said to unveil ‘the true story of his battle to keep his privacy against a prying tabloid press, to work despite crippling pain and to confound science and save his life.’
Some key scenes that feature have been dramatised, whilst the documentary will also show some rare archive footage.
Not only that, but the documentary, which airs at 9pm on 20 November on Channel 5, has an exclusive interview with Mercury's bodyguard, Terry Giddings.
The film, which according to The Guardian been in production for eight years has also had some problems.
With both members of Queen, Roger Taylor and Brian May, working as the music producers, they feel that some of the film should be dedicated to Freddie Mercury.
This actually caused the original casting of Mercury, Sacha Baron Cohen to walk out on the film.
This was discovered when Baron Cohen, who was talking to radio host Howard Stern, explained the disagreement.
